Right from the teaser, Noah had my attention for it was a
Crowe- Aronofsky project based on
one of the first stories ever told. And did I come out disappointed? NO...
Story-line: That part is obvious. Noah is given the task of building an ark to shelter creatures that would restart the world after a flood destroys the present-but-sin-filled-world.
Russell Crowe, in the titular role, is all in. The whole movie shoulders on him and he has carried it all the way with ease. With a supporting cast that includes Connelly, Watson, Lernman, Winstone, Hopkins, this movie could well be one of the front-runners next year in the Oscars in the Acting category.
Next to Crowe what deserves the biggest applause is the visual department. Be it the black soil scenes or the deluge that destroys the world or “the watchers”, the CG have given a huge hand (a rarity in Aronofsky's projects) to render an epic status to this epic story. Crowe's narration of how God created the world in six days is a must watch CG-experience, probably one of the best of all time.
At 130+ minutes, this story might create a stretched feeling, especially after the deluge, but this was essential for the Noah's character and for the story to take shape.
I am a non-Christian and hence had a slight hesitation if my lack of biblical knowledge would wreak havoc to my movie experience. But, fortunately I was wrong and everything went like clockwork.
Noah- Visually beautiful, Stunning Cast and thus A MUST WATCH..
